Lipid peroxidation can be described generally as a process under which oxidants such as free radicals attack lipids containing carbon-carbon double bond(s), especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Over the last four decades, an extensive body of literature regarding lipid peroxidation has shown its important role in cell biology and human health. Since the early 1970s, the total published research articles on the topic of lipid peroxidation was 98 (1970–1974) and has been increasing at almost 135-fold, by up to 13165 in last 4 years (2010–2013). New discoveries about the involvement in cellular physiology and pathology, as well as the control of lipid peroxidation, continue to emerge every day. Given the enormity of this field, this review focuses on biochemical concepts of lipid peroxidation, production, metabolism, and signaling mechanisms of two main omega-6 fatty acids lipid peroxidation products: malondialdehyde (MDA) and, in particular, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), summarizing not only its physiological and protective function as signaling molecule stimulating gene expression and cell survival, but also its cytotoxic role inhibiting gene expression and promoting cell death. Finally, overviews of in vivo mammalian model systems used to study the lipid peroxidation process, and common pathological processes linked to MDA and 4-HNE are shown. This review paper is dedicated to Dr. Alberto Machado 1. Lipids Overview of Biological Functions and permeability. Lipids also have a key role in biology as signaling molecules.

Polar lipids are structural leukotrienes, or hepoxilins biosynthesis after oxidation of components of cell membranes, where they participate in the arachidonic acid (AA) [4, 5], cyclooxygenase that produces formation of the permeability barrier of cells and subcellular prostaglandins [4], and cytochrome P-450 (CYP) which organelles in the form of a lipid bilayer. The major lipid type generates epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, leukotoxins, thrombox- defining this bilayer in almost all membranes is glycerol- ane, or prostacyclin [4]. Lipid signaling may occur via based phospholipid [3]. The importance of the membrane activation of a variety of receptors, including G protein- lipid physical (phase) state is evidenced by the fact that lipids coupled and nuclear receptors. Members of several different may control the physiological state of a membrane organelle lipid categories have been identified as potent intracellular by modifying its biophysical aspects, such as the polarity signal transduction molecules.

Lipid peroxidation can be high levels of free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) described generally as a process under which oxidants such can inflict direct damage to lipids. The primary sources of as free radicals or nonradical species attack lipids containing endogenous ROS production are the mitochondria, plasma carbon-carbondoublebond(s),especiallypolyunsaturated membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and peroxisomes [20] fatty acids (PUFAs) that involve hydrogen abstraction from through a variety of mechanisms including enzymatic reac- a carbon, with oxygen insertion resulting in lipid per- tions and/or autooxidation of several compounds, such oxyl radicals and hydroperoxides as described previously as catecholamines and hydroquinone.
